Mediaportal's TV Guide under "StreamedMP" seems to put the word "New" before the name of may newly launched series, at least it seems that way as the equivalent (for example) BBC and ITV guides don't seem to include the word. This is giving problems as the run of programmes are not treated as one series as subsequent episodes don't contain the "New" word. Is there a setting either in MP or StreamedMP to stop it inserting the word New?

Which EPG are you using?
As you are in the UK, the easiest EPG to setup for DVB-T/T2 is the EPG that is broadcast with the TV signals (called the "DVB EPG" in "TV Server Config"). Unfortunately this EPG does contain programme titles prefixed with "New". I see this in MP, and I also see it when viewing my TV's EPG (it is the same EPG!). If you want to use this EPG, you have to be observant, and (potentially) set up two recording schedules, one with "New" in the title, and one without (this is what I do).
There are other EPGs that you can use, but these have to be downloaded from the internet, and then imported into MP. These other EPGs may (or may not) include "New" in the programme titles. I have not used any of these internet EPGs with MP.

Hi @alanwads I understand your frustration with the broadcast DVB EPG. I wrote a plugin to resolve exactly this issue.
It's a little underground at the moment because it's still under development but you're welcome to try it out.
The plugin uses regex to filter guide data and the settings below should remove the 'New' prefix from program titles:
Regex Expression: "^New\s" Replace with: empty
[^ = start of line. \s = space. empty = just leave blank. Don't include quotes]
More info if you have any questions here: Tweaking DVB EPG
